NOTES
1). Principal Chief of the Cherokees until his death. S h o w s a s living in Chickamauga District in C.N.E. Georg i a a s o f 1 8 Oct 1826. 1 2 Blood Cherokee more like 3 4 ach Notes from Starr s compilations Charles father Nathan was married to Na ye hi, not t o Nancy Broom. Nancy Elizabeth Broom, aka Anna Felicitas was married to Charles Renatus. In the Halfbreed 1 x & 1 1 x family groups, Starr depicts Lydia Halfbreed and Charles Hicks as the parents of George Hicks however, Starr s unpublished notes, pg 146 14 7 , and the entries for the Spring Place Students lead to the conclusion that the spouse of Lydia Halfbreed should have been listed as Charles brother William, and George as their son. Joined the Church of the United Brethren at Spring Place and was baptised on Apr 10, 1813. At this time the missionaries conferred upon him the name of Renatus Renewed Charles Renatus Hicks.Cherokee Tragedy, The Ridge Family and the Decimation of a People, by Thurman Wilkins, University of Oklahoma Press, Morman and London On his way home from Salem, Major Ridge stopped at Spring Place on January 22, 1827, and found the mission in mourning. During his absence the Cherokee had lost in quick succession their principal chiefs the aged Pathkiller had died first and two weeks later Charles Hicks lay in a walnut coffin at Spring Place. Hicks had attended the council at New Echota the previous fall though badly ailing. On his way home he was forced to camp in the woods and had taken cold from the dampness. He had gone to bed with Dropsical complaints and had never risen again . Major Ridge, on taking a last look at his friend, learned that he had died gently on January 20 as though he had mearly fallen asleep. The Ridge delivered an impressive exhortation a t the funeral. Cherokee Tragedy, The Ridge Family and the Decimation of a People, by Thurman Wilkins, University of Oklahoma Press, Morman and London Upon hearing of the death Charles Hicks, one Cherokee said The Cherokee will sell their land now those who are left have their price. 1842 Cherokee Claims, Flint District, IT, claim 33 To Elijah, Betsey, Sarah, Jesse, Leonard, and Nanc y , t h e h eirs and widow of Charles R Hicks decd Residence in the old Nation, Frkville, Chickamauga Creek Valuation at Forkville list of losses $8806.50 Nancy Hicks, the widow of Charles R Hicks, deceased , makes oath that the above described premises and improvements were the property of her late husband, that he resided there until his death which was in the year 1827, and after his death she still resided on the premises peaceably and unmolested until the Spring of 1834. illegible After Charles past away in 1827 his brother William Hicks became Principal Chief, which office he held until October 1828. Elizabeth Hicks married James Vann, Richard Fields, Eliphas Holt and William Campbell. There were possibly other brothers and sisters, but their names are unknown. I ll send a clarification on this but I think Charles married Nancy Broom and Nathan married Nan Ye Ha, also Nancy Broom. You show Nathan as being born in Scotland in 1746. I know a lot of books show the Hicks as being Scottish, but I think they are descendants of Robert Hicks who came from England. That s not to say he wasn t a Scot however. Daniel Higdon paid Robert Hicks passage in 1683 and they worked together in the fur trade business from near Emporia, NC. Nathan Hicks was a white man and various records show him being born anywhere from 1735 to 1754. As near as I can tell, he was born about 1740 45. He was married to Nan Ye Ha contrary to what most history books show. This is about as far back as I can trace the Hicks line. However, I think there is a good likelihood that Nathan may have been the son of Robert 1722 82 and Mary Hicks of Albemarle Parrish, Sussex County, Virginia. This Nathan was born Nov 6, 1743 and was christened on December 18, 1743. Don Shadburn s book, Cherokee Planters in Georgia notes on page 302 that in 1836, valuing agents Overlooked the property of Nancy Hicks, which consisted of 2 cabins $50 In addition, 4 acres of land $32 located on Chicamauga Creek. This is believed to have been Nathan s wife. Whether old Nathan or his grandson, I have not determined. Nathan s daughter Sarah married Walter Scott. Daughter Elizabeth married Chief James Clement Vann, Eliphias Holt and Richard Fields and William Campbell. Robert Hicks was the son of James Hicks, b. 1700 and Judith Collier. James parents were Robert Hicks, Jr. and I believe Elizabeth Irvin. Need to check that one. Robert Jr. was the son of Robert, the original immigrant who came over from England in about 1683. Nathan was the father of Chief Charles R. Hicks. No one has proven the connection between Robert and Nathan. You may have to check British trading records or something along those lines. Also check the Feb issue 1994 5 of the NC Genealogical Journal for an article on tri racial marriages by James Logan Colbert. He seems certain that this line leads to ours and I am inclined to agree. Might be 95 and 96, it was in two installments. It mentions a lot of the names you just did. Regards, Bill The following is from Vern Nathan and Nan�Ye�Ha had two children, Charles Renatus Hicks and William Hicks. Charles is our guy. His information is above. William Hicks married TOCOEYEEKA . William and Tocoeyeeka were shown as the parents or guardians of George Hicks a student. George was the son of Charles Hicks and �Chiuke�. Charles was the brother of William so George was his nephew. They must have been guardians while he attended school. William was Principle Chief from 1826 to October 13, 1828. This is from a list of students of the United Bretheren Morvvian Mission School at Spring Place Georgia, Cherokee Nation East 1804 1834 Compiled by Jerry Clark in the Cherokee Family Research, Issue for fall 1992 and Spring 1993 issue 8 and 9 page 10.
